We're looking to upgrade our current database architecture, to something that will handle potentially 3-4 times our current load/size, etc. We're looking at RAC as an option, but I'm wondering what storage options are available for RAC. At a Technology Day about a year or so back, they showed a small RAC cluster using a NetApp for the shared storage component. What other storage options are available? EMC is the obvious other, but what else is available/supported? Anything that serves lots of disk via NFS?

Currently we are managing around 50G of data+indexes, so it's not a whole lot we need in terms of space. Moving up to 4x that would only be 200G, still not very large. Are there options cheaper than NetApp that would be feasible?

Thanks for your input,

• Dan Hanks
